I cannot believe it has only been a couple weeks since seeing Australian singer/songwriter Dean Lewis at Terminal West in Atlanta. I also cannot believe that his debut album is finally with us! I remember when he only had one song available, and I searched every week for anything new. His song “Waves” is still one of my favorite tunes and one that I turn to when I need inspiration, especially on a late night drive home. The title track “A Place We Knew” is the heart of the album and holds my favorite take away lyrics, which coincidentally are, “your heart is my home.” If you need a jump start to your day, then press play on “Hold of Me,” “Stay Awake,” or “Straight Back Down.” One of my friends recently told me that Lewis’ song “Be Alright” reminded her of how I helped her through a difficult time. It is really interesting how things come full circle because I recently tweeted that Lewis is like a walking endorphin and that his gig put a smile on my face for days. He never seems to slow down and is always so positive. So, cheers to Dean Lewis for making the world a little better, inspiring people, and bringing friendships closer.
Give this album a listen, and let me know what you think. Lewis has a few festivals lined up. If you want more information or tickets, click here.
